CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation application of U.S. patentapplication Ser. No. 15/458,745, filed on Mar. 14, 2017.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present subject matter being disclosed by the Inventors relatesgenerally to the field of ride-on and push toys for children, toystorage, and more specifically to a ride-on and push toy to pick upsmall objects lying on a plane surface.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

To encourage children to pick up toys or small playing objects scatteredon the floor after their playing is not an easy task because childrensoon feel bored from repetitively bending down, picking up the toys,going to the storage bin, throwing them into the storage bin, and so on.Especially, when the small objects or toys are tiny, such as blocks,Lego® bricks, small figures, small marbles, or beads, the efforts topick them up are laborious and tedious.

Although electrical vacuums or floor sweepers are generally used toclean up small litters like dust, pieces of small paper clip, or cookiecrumbles on the floor, toys or small playing objects are not suitable tobe cleaned up by such electrical vacuums or floor sweepers. Anelectrical vacuum will often be clogged by the irregular shapes of thetoys or the size of the playing small objects larger than the vacuumsuction head. Also, the vacuum will suck up dust and the toys into thevacuum at the same time, which will smear the toys with the dustvacuumed. Same issues occur when a floor sweeper is used to pick up thesmall playing objects or toys on the plane surface.

Therefore, there is a need to help parents or children to save effort incleaning up the toys or small playing objects lying on the planesurface, like carpet or hardwood floors, while keeping the cleaning upwork enjoyable. Also, there is a need to have the cleanup task performedin an efficient way to save time and efforts.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The subject being disclosed by the Inventors provides a children'sride-on and push toy to pick up small objects lying on a plane surface.The present subject matter being disclosed by the Inventors can beridden by a child, but also can be turned into a device, like a floorsweeper or manual vacuum, which an adult or a child can push to pick upsmall objects lying on the floor or similar plane surface. The presentsubject matter being disclosed by the Inventors provides a removablestorage space for temporarily storing the small objects swept into thebody of the toy and later emptied to a toy storage bin. The object ofthe subject being disclosed by the Inventors can be, for example, in anappearance of an animated form, such as an animal, so that the childsitting on it will enjoy the ride and will imagine that the animatedanimal toy eats up the toys or small playing objects to be cleaned up.

The present subject matter being disclosed by the Inventors may includea pickup mechanism that can be activated for sweeping or picking upsmall objects from a plane surface into the storage space of the toywhile the toy is used to pick up small objects on a plane surface, butit also can be deactivated while the toy is used for the ride-onenjoyment only. One of the embodiments of the sweeping mechanism mayinclude a continuous moving gear-belt system with flexible pick-up pins,or similar suitable impeller that provides sufficient force to sweep theobject but flexible enough to pass objects that are too big or too heavyto be swept into the storage space. The appearance of the presentsubject matter being disclosed by the Inventors can be in animated form,for example, as animals, transportation tools, or cartoon figures toenhance the enjoyment of the riding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present subject matter being disclosed by the Inventors relates to achildren's ride-on and push toy as an example shown in FIG. 1. It mayalso function as sweeping device such as a floor sweeper or manualvacuum to pick up small objects lying on a plane surface. In FIG. 1, theembodiment of the present subject matter being disclosed by theInventors may include a ride-on body 10 with a seat 20 on which a childcan ride; a multiple-position telescoping handle 30, which may beswitched and/or extended for a person to push or pull the ride-on toy;footrests 60 for the rider's feet; a sweeping mechanical assembly 40 topick up toys and small objects, and a toy tray 300 to store the pickedup small objects 30. The mechanical structure of sweeping assembly 40 islocated under the ride-on body 10. In FIG. 3, for example, themechanical structure of sweeping assembly 40 may further include afriction drive wheel 80, a friction non-drive wheel 90, a plurality ofpickup fins 100, a deactivation button or switch or switch 150, a case70, and a front wheel 75.

The ride-on body 10 may be in an animated form, such as animal form,vehicular form, vessel form, aircraft form, cartoon figures, or otherform that enhances the enjoyment of riding. FIG. 2 shows one of theembodiments of the present subject matter being disclosed by theInventors in an animated form. The ride-on body 10 has an opening 15underneath the head portion 12 of the ride-on body (see the example inFIG. 2). In FIG. 3, for example, the opening 15 (not shown) of theride-on body 10 (not shown) is aligned with the opening 72 for thepickup fins 100 of the sweeping mechanical assembly 40.

As seen in FIG. 4, the sweeping mechanical assembly 40 of the embodimentof the present subject matter being disclosed by the Inventors mayinclude a belt 110, pickup fins 100 vertically attached or affixed onthe outer surface of the belt 110 as the sweeping paddlers or impeller,a first sprocket gear 125, and a second sprocket gear 130. In oneembodiment, the first sprocket gear 125 is connected to the toy'sratcheting wheel 80 and the non-ratchet wheel 90 (not shown). The secondsprocket gear 130 may be separated in a distance from the first sprocketgear 125. The belt 110 is stretched between those two sprocket gears.One end of the belt contacts with first sprocket gear 125. The other endof the belt 110 contacts with the second sprocket gear 130.

When the toy moves forward as the head portion of the ride-on body 10 isin the front, its ratcheting wheel 80 and non-ratchet wheel 90 drive thefirst sprocket gear 125, and then the first sprocket gear further drivesthe belt 110 to move. By this way, the pickup fins 100 on the outersurface of the belt 110 will continuously and rapidly move forward tosweep small objects 30 on the plane surface into the toy tray 300. Thepickup fins 100 may be made of plastic material that is resilient andflexible to bend but has sufficient strength to push or sweep smallobjects when the pickup fins 100 are in contact with small objects onthe plane surface. One embodiment of the pickup fins 100 is made ofvinyl polymer. The number of pickup fins 100 is at least two.

In one of the embodiment, the sweeping mechanism is controlled by aratchet system 140 (as the example seen in FIG. 5) that limits themovement direction of the belt 110 in the forward direction when theembodiment of the present subject matter being disclosed by theInventors works as a sweeper to pick up small objects from the planesurface, and a deactivation button or switch 150 (as the example seen inFIG. 6) to deactivate the ratchet system when the embodiment of thepresent subject matter being disclosed by the Inventors is used as aride-on toy only. For example, the ratchet system 140 may include aratcheted finger 160 (FIG. 4), ratcheted finger spring 170 (FIG. 5), anda ratcheting wheel 80 (FIG. 5). The deactivation button or switch 150 isconnected to a friction drive mechanical assembly 160 and the frictiondrive mechanical assembly 140 is further connected to the belt 110 (asthe example shown in FIG. 4).

As shown in FIG. 7, the friction drive mechanical assembly furthercomprises a friction drive lock plate base 180, friction drive lockplate spacer 190, friction drive lock plate back 200, friction drivelock spring post 210, friction drive lock handle 220, friction drivelock handle space 230, and shoulder 240.

In FIG. 8, for example, the ride-on toy body 10 may include amultiple-position telescoping handle 30, which can be switched and/orextended for a person to push or pull the ride-on toy. In one of theembodiment, the multiple-position telescoping handle 30 may furtherinclude telescoping handle grip 310, telescoping handle guard 320,telescoping handle guard rotation cover 330, telescoping handle griprotation cover 340, telescoping handle base 350, wall inner telescopetube 360, wall inner telescope tube 370, telescoping handle tube spacer380, telescoping handle lock spring plate 390, telescoping handle lock400, telescoping handle push rod block 410, telescoping handle lockrelease button or switch 420, telescoping handle lock push rod 430,bearing ball 440, and compression spring 450.

The multiple-position telescoping handle 30 may be connected to theride-on body 10 by the telescoping handle base 350 (as the example shownin FIG. 1). The telescoping handle 30 may be pivoted around thetelescoping handle base 350. The telescoping handle 30 can also movedown and up along the wall inner telescope tube 360 and the wall innertelescope tube 407. The telescoping handle grip 310 can also pivot upand down around the telescoping handle guard 320 (as the example shownin FIG. 8).
